Re Game of Thrones Books, they're good, but I'm getting to the point where he really needs to START MAKING THINGS TIE UP. That's all I can say without major spoilers. At least with LOTR you know there's only 3 books & there will be an ending. Im not sure Martin knows how it's going to finish. And he's five books in Although Blackwater was very good "There's some very brave men knocking at our door, let's go and kill them"

Iron Sky, although in no way perfect, is rather good fun

PUNY GOD!! I really loved Minority Report and Tinker Tailor. Avengers is the best film I've seen for a long time

New viral video for Promethius has been released http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=33681

The Guard is very very very very very funny

after getting more excited about the Avenger's movie from the 2nd trailer than a 33 year old really should. I watched Captain America and Thor this week. Wow, I was surprised (i wasnt, i thought id like them) about how much fun they were, even if Hugo Weaving just looked like Jim Carey in the Mask, but with sunburn.

That outfit for the Bishop excuses all accents

Jonathan Wilson (of Inverting the Pyramid fame) has written a biography of Ol' Big 'Ead http://www.amazon.co.uk/Brian-Clough-Nobody-Thank-Biography/dp/1409123170/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1321457960&sr=8-3 supposed to be very very good

I very much enjoyed Marcus Brigstock's Godcollar, Id really recommend the audiobook version. As an aside, I joined audible and for about £8 a month I get any audiobook and big discounts off others. I really cant recommend it highly enough, especially as you can get most of the books unabridged.

Ive finished book 5 and I loved it, but you know what? FINISH THE BLOODY STORY IN BOOK 6 MARTIN, STOP KILLING OFF MY FAVOURITE CHARACTERS AND GIVE ME CLOSURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Matterhorn is pretty damn good if I hadnt mentioned it before I spent books 4 and 5 going, "oh no, not them, I like them, oh and not them either, oh, please kill him, but you havent *grumble*"

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is supposed to be excellent. I don't mind 3D, but prefer the 2D

Lie to Me's pretty good. Tim Roth's utterly bonkers in it

Out of the Ashes, on Storyville (BBC4) Fantastic film, should now be on iPlayer

Its Bollywood, so they dont take it seriously. I expect there to be a number of dance numbers in there at random intervals

Sorry, might rant a bit. THE ROAD CHAIS IS NOT THE FAULT OF CENTRAL GOVERNMENT, IT'S THE FAULT OF MORONIC DRIVERS WHO OBVIOUSLY HAVE NO FREAKING CLUE ON HOW TO DRIVE IN EVEN THE LIGHTEST SNOW!! Drive sensibly, leave space between you & the next car, conserve momentum so you can get up hills BY NOT DRIVING AT 5MPH DOWN A STRAIGHT CLEAR ROAD. Start in 2nd & use your clutch, not start in 1st & rev the crap out of it, if you see vehicles stuck in front of you blocking the road, get out of your car & give em a fecking push, they don't usually need much to get going. Also grit works by traffic mixing it up into the snow, it won't work if you've blocked traffic because you're a moron. Stop trying to blame others for your inadequate driving skills. And yes I was stuck without moving for 3 hours on Saturday because of the above issues
